Weld worked as a film editor in New York City for many years, and was active in other visual arts in the 1970s and ’80s, producing a large body of drawings, editorial illustrations, photographs and paintings. He turned to teaching for a number of years while developing ideas about a visual narrative that explores the mythical aspect of the reality we ordinarily observe and talk about.

Two series have come out of this. The first was exhibited at the EFG Books Gallery in Bridgton in 2009, titled “The Conscious Eye.” The current series is titled “Galaxy—Beyond the Photos.”

Weld currently divides his living/working environment between the mellow friendliness of Bridgton, with its great natural endowments, and the intensity of urban culture in Brooklyn, NY.
